Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a sound system (100, 200, 600), the sound system comprising: a signal processor (220, 620) that is adapted to generate a first sound signal and a second sound signal, to provide the first sound signal to a loudspeaker, and to provide the second sound signal to a bone conduction speaker; the bone conduction speaker (280, 380) being adapted to transduce the second signal to a bone conductible sound signal that is carried in a bone of a user; and wherein: the first sound signal and the second sound signal are used together for surround sound effect, and the signal processor is adapted to generate the first and/or the second sound signals in response to sound conductivity parameters of different mediums. Further, the present invention also relates to corresponding method for providing sound and also to a media player.
